Upbeat and Chill Acceptance

Just a quick update that my last upload was accepted, and is now up for sale on AudioJungle. I'm super impressed - I have never had a new file reviewed and accepted in a single day. The quick turnaround is more from added reviewers than any particular excellence on my part. That brings the total up to 203 published songs.

Drunken Robot

 I haven't been super faithful with posting this summer - mostly due to laziness, I guess.  So here's a link to a demo of a new one I just put up for submission called "Drunken Robot."


https://u.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=XZXsMyXZ5mzNQTKprH5mbncjL62XJz0mlcJy



In all honesty, I'll be pleasantly surprised if this one gets accepted for sale.  If it does, I know for a fact that I will OWN the "drunken robot" search term.  (FYI, I have already checked.) Someday, somewhere, someone is going to need a little theme song to go along with a robot on a bender.  Someone had to write and record it....why not me?  BTW, the robot gets sick at 1:23 (yes...that is what a robot sounds like when he throws up) and is singing along in an annoying way at 1:44.



I know, Beethoven would have been ashamed of me.  Mozart would have gotten a kick out of it, though.  Then he would have gone off and written a better one.

New Podcast Theme

This is just a short little theme for podcast/broadcast use. I'm a fan of the "bwoopy" sound of the udu.

Corporate Tech Loop

A corporate tech loop featuring a bright tempo and a combination of hip hop and rock elements. Instruments include hip hop drums, plucky synth sounds, electric guitar, and bass in a song that forms a perfect 32 second loop. This quick fusion of hip hop and rock is busy and edgy, with a drive and a beat that keeps things moving. Uploaded for approval today.

Classic Rock Instrumental

An instrumental rock song inspired by the first or last instrumental tracks that used to be included on vinyl albums produced in the late 70s and early 80s. An 82 BPM groove using electric guitar, organ, clavichord, drums, and synthesizers. Driving and progressive, with a consistent returning theme to pull it together. Submitted to Audio Jungle today.



Winds and Lute Loop

Another offering in the medieval/celtic category - The Winds and Lute Loop. This is a 1:07 loop of a song in the medieval/renaissance/celtic style featuring recorder, english horn, lute, cello, and hand percussion. It's a dance in 6/8 time in a mode rather than a scale, but fluctuation between major and minor to modern ears. I was looking to write a little video game tavern background music. Submitted to Audio Jungle today.

Simple Waltz

This is a simple, relaxing, and tranquil waltz in 60 seconds. It's in ABA form with a little more motion in the B section for variety. Exactly 60 seconds without feeling rushed or too busy. Just added it to the queue today.

Strings & Horn Horror Ident

Seven seconds with the audio tail, this ident features a short descending violin passage against plodding viola, cello, and bass notes. A horn crescendo and a final pizzicato pluck brings it to a finish. The descending arpeggiated chromatics and tension in the other instruments creates an unsettling and strained feeling for an ident or branding for horror or suspense projects. Submitted today.

Tropical Popo

This is a little tropical pop song that a recorded to give you the idea of a tropical vacation inside of a minute. (Actually a minute and five seconds if you include the audio tail.) Submitted to AJ today, although in 5 different versions (looped vs. non-looped, and also with shorter lengths.)

Relaxing Woodwind Quartet

A calm, relaxing woodwind quartet featuring oboe, flute, clarinet, and bassoon. This serene little piece in the classical style is designed to underscore anything that needs a little refined, tranquil, and restful background music.
Just uploaded it for (hopeful) approval today.

7 Second Violin Ident

A quick, merry and pleasant ident featuring solo violin, warm strings, a light pad, and a stinger using stringed bass and a glockenspiel. Classy, charming, and happy. Submitted it today.

Comic Folk Dance

This is a comedic folk dance using clarinet, accordion, violin, bass, and percussive stomps & claps. A little background audio for a funny & frantic scene - I was imagining chasing a toddler around the house.
I just submitted it to Audio Jungle today.

Xylo & Uke Children's Theme

A light-hearted and happy children's theme using xylophone, ukulele, accordion, and bass. 31 seconds including a short audio tail. Jolly, bouncy, and uplifting. I was thinking of a 30 second tv or radio spot for diapers showing a little guy toddling around in the back yard. First official submission today since I got the computer back.

Violin and Harp Ident

A short clip for branding purposes that uses violin, harp, a synth pad, and a pizzicato bass stinger. Both major and minor versions for a little versatility. I submitted this one on Thursday, 6/20/2019.

First of the week

I'm running a little behind my goal of 5 submissions a week due to losing a lot of time to downloads - either new virtual instruments or backups of a hard drive that crashed. I've got some longer songs in the pipeline, but feel I'm going to need to crank out some short loops & logos to get more stuff submitted so I can catch up. Anyway, here's the first one of this week.

This is a short, techno loop I did with two contrasting sections - the first is a driving, busy, techno section with arpeggiated & gated synths, and the second is one that features a little derpy lead synth against a bass riff for a little comic relief. It makes a perfect 32 second loop.

Dark Heroic Fanfare Logo

This is a fanfare I wrote and recorded for logo purposes. It uses symphonic bass, snare drum, french horns, trombones, trumpets, and tuba in a fanfare that builds and crescendos to a low sustained note. It's dark, dramatic, and intense.

Rising and Falling Logo

A short rising and falling theme song for identification or logo purposes. Busy without being rushed, and a mixture of acoustic & electronic with a moving, gated, rhythmic vibe.

Little Hoedown

A little hoedown for a very short square dance. 1:30 of barnyard bliss written for banjo, fiddle, and bass. Small towns don't have the budget for a big group.

Technology Tension

A track I did for some underscore music to a technology thriller. Looking for a track to use in your dystopian life as the robot overlords hunt you to extinction? This is the one for you.

Mambo to Go

This one took awhile. This is an upbeat, rhythmic mambo with short detours into other latin styles. It uses latin percussion, trumpets, trombones, saxophones, piano, and bass. Fun, happy, driving, and joyous. I'm hoping tt will make you want to dance even if you have two left feet.
